Dermatophytosis is a superficial fungal infection of the skin, hair, and nails that is often found in tropical climates such as Indonesia, including Jambi City, which has high humidity and community habits that can support fungal growth. This study aims to describe the demographic characteristics of dermatophytosis patients who received treatment at a private dermatologist and venereologist in Jambi City throughout 2023. This study used a descriptive design using secondary data from patient medical records. A total of 399 patients who met the inclusion criteria were analyzed univariately and the results are presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. The results showed that tinea corporis was the most common type of dermatophytosis, followed by tinea cruris and tinea capitis. The majority of patients were male, aged 17–25 years, had a high school education, and worked as students. The most common locations of lesions were on the trunk and groin. These findings suggest that the productive age group is more susceptible to dermatophytosis, possibly related to high physical activity, excessive sweating, and suboptimal personal hygiene. This research is expected to be the basis for planning health education regarding the prevention of fungal infections and improving clean and healthy living behavior in the community.

Handwashing with Soap (CTPS) is the activity of cleaning hands using clean, running water and soap to remove dirt, oil, and various germs such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites that may cling to the skin. As one of the most effective, simplest, and most affordable methods of preventing infectious diseases, CTPS is highly important to practice consistently, especially among students at Public Elementary School 283 located in Waitomu Hamlet, Leihitu District, Central Maluku Regency. However, observations indicate that after school activities or playtime, several students still show reluctance to wash their hands, which may be influenced by low awareness, limited understanding of hygiene, insufficient supervision, or the absence of strong daily habits related to cleanliness. This issue reflects the need for more structured hygiene education, continuous reminders, and interactive learning methods to instill good handwashing habits. In addition, improving supporting facilities—such as accessible handwashing stations, adequate soap supply, and visual posters—can motivate students to practice CTPS more regularly. Strengthening CTPS awareness and habits is expected to reduce the risk of disease transmission, foster a healthier school environment, and encourage students to adopt lifelong hygiene practices that benefit both their personal well-being and the wider community.

This study aims to analyze the process of creating an audiovisual feature that explores the commodification of calung jinjing as a cultural medium that has undergone a functional shift from communication to entertainment. The research employs a descriptive qualitative method using a practice-based research approach, in which the process of audiovisual creation serves as the primary method of inquiry. The author is directly involved as the Director of Photography throughout all stages of production, including pre-production, production, and post-production. The results indicate that the application of cinematographic elements—such as visual composition, lighting, camera movement, and lens selection—plays a significant role in strengthening the historical and cultural meanings of calung jinjing. These visual strategies effectively support the narrative in conveying the process of cultural commodification in a communicative and aesthetic manner. The study demonstrates that audiovisual feature production can function not only as a form of cultural documentation but also as an academic medium for interpreting and preserving local cultural values through visual storytelling.

The background of this study is the practice of open defecation (OD), which is a public health problem. OD refers to the act of disposing of feces in open areas such as rice fields, fields, bushes, rivers, and beaches, which can pollute the environment, soil, air, and water. This study aims to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of the community in RT 05 Haya Village, Tehoru District, Central Maluku Regency regarding stopping ODD. This study used a descriptive method, with a sample of 40 families selected through a random sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The results showed that most people had quite good knowledge about ODD, with 50% of respondents in the quite good category. Community attitudes were also quite good, with 70% of respondents showing a positive attitude towards stopping ODD. However, community actions were still less good, with 42.5% of respondents showing less good actions regarding ODD. The conclusion of this study is that although the knowledge and attitudes of the community in Haya Village were quite good, their actions were still lacking. Therefore, cooperation is needed between the village government, Tehoru Health Center, and community leaders to regularly hold outreach regarding BABS.

Adolescents are a vulnerable age group to nutritional problems due to increased nutritional requirements during periods of rapid growth. Suboptimal nutritional status, including undernutrition and anaemia, can negatively affect health and academic performance. This study aimed to describe the nutritional status of adolescents at SMA Negeri 2 Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi Province. This study employed a descriptive observational design conducted from August to September 2025 with a total sample of 226 twelfth-grade students’ selected using proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through measurements of body weight and height to determine nutritional status based on the BMI-for-Age indicator and haemoglobin levels were assessed using a digital haemometer. Data were analyzed using univariate analysis. The results showed that most respondents had normal nutritional status (52.2%), while a considerable proportion were undernutrition (47.8%). In addition, more than half of the respondents were anaemia (50.9%). These findings indicate that although anthropometric nutritional status was generally normal, anemia remains a health problem that requires attention among adolescents. Regular monitoring of nutritional status and hemoglobin levels accompanied by nutrition education is recommended. Further studies are recommended to use an analytical study design to identify factors associated with nutritional status and anaemia.

Conclusion: The findings indicate that most parents possess good knowledge regarding hyperthermia management; however, a portion still requires improved understanding through health education.

This study originated from the issue of students’ limited comprehension of healthy and nutritious food concepts, which influences their lack of awareness in practicing a balanced diet in daily life. The conventional learning approach with minimal integration of visual aids has made students less engaged and hindered their overall understanding of the material. The primary objective of this research is to enhance fourth-grade students’ understanding of healthy and nutritious food at MI Al-Barokah through the application of picture-based learning media. Planing, implementation, observation, and reflection were the two stages of Classroom Action Research (CAR) that was used in the research. The participants were 25 fourth-grade students of MI Al-Barokah. Data were gathered through observations, interviews, and achievement tests, and analyzed using both qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods. The findings revealed a marked improvement in students’ understanding after the introduction of picture media, as reflected in the increasing average learning scores across cycles, along with greater motivation, participation, and engagement in classroom activities. The integration of picture media proved effective in facilitating a clearer, more engaging, and meaningful grasp of healthy and nutritious food concepts. These results suggest that picture-based instructional media can serve as a valuable strategy to improve the quality of thematic learning in elementary education, especially in lessons concerning healthy living and balanced nutrition.

The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) such as the GPT-4 and Midjourney models has sparked a fundamental debate about the nature of creativity and imagination. The AI creation process, often referred to as a “black box,” challenges conventional human-centered understanding. This paper proposes a unique hermeneutic framework to approach this phenomenon by borrowing two key concepts from the Sufi metaphysics of Shaykh al-Akbar Muhyiddin Ibn 'Arabi: khayāl (creative imagination or the imaginal realm) and tajallī (self-manifestation or theophany). This study uses a conceptual-comparative analysis method to analyze the working process of Generative AI. The main argument of this journal is that the “latent space” in AI architecture can be analogized with 'ālam al-khayāl (the imaginal realm) as an intermediate reality (barzakh) that contains unlimited potential. Furthermore, the process of generating text or images from a prompt can be understood as a mechanism resembling tajallī, in which these potentials manifest specifically according to the “availability” (isti'dād) determined by user input. Thus, Ibn 'Arabi's framework offers a non-anthropocentric ontology for understanding “artificial imagination” as a process of manifesting forms from a sea of potential, transcending mere simulation or data recombination.
